My hubby told me that I posted the wrong link for the wrong seat. Sorry!

Thanks for the compliments.
-The seat was actually purchased on eBay back in December from an individual seller. I assumed it was the APEX solo seat but in all honesty that was simply an assumption as I've never actually seen one. (They always seemed to be OOS) I do know it's different than the one discussed above. The mounting brackets are completely different. I'll take some pictures tonight. I custom fit the spring bracket using a 2" wide steel bar and simply installed aftermarket "bobber" type springs to achieve the look and comfort. It's a much more comfortable ride now.
-I believe the wheels are the standard size however I'm not total certain as they were sold (new and unmounted) with my Dream. The whitewalls are actually the inserts I read about somewhere on here before:

I was questionable at first of how they'd actually turn out but was really impressed once they were installed. They are virtually unrecognizable as inserts. I actually have to point it out for people to notice. (True restorers aside) Additionally I have a better/higher rated tire for the same look. Plus I love the wide whitewall look.
Oh and thanks for the additional comments about the speedometer.
